MIXING'DEVICE FOR SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

' Patented Mar. 7, 1.916.

Application led August 16, 1915. Serial No. 45,666.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES GLUCKMAN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York, in the county of New York I f and State of New York, have invented cerlarly adapted for use in connection withv faucets supplying hot and cold water to sinks, bath` tubs, etc. It is an improved l5 form of a similar invention now pending in -the United States Patent Office, Serial No.

9722, `filed February th, 1915, and has for f its principal object the provision of simple and inexpensive means for connecting 20 the attachment to faucets, or other sources of supply of water, or other liquids, or comminuted solids, intended to be mixed.

The drawing shows in Figure 1, a front elevation of a pair of faucets with the mixing device attached thereto, the latter in cross section on line 1-1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device when open, Fig. 8, a front elevation of the device when closed, and Fig. 4, a side elevation of the 3@ device when closed.

A pair of conveyers 10 and 11, preferably of rectangular channel shaped cross section, are provided with bearings 12 and 13, attached thereto in any convenient manner,

and in this particular embodiment consisting of strips of sheet metal, passing through suitable slots of the conveyers, bent cylindrically on the inside of the conveyer,. and rectangularly, so as to form flanges, on the outside of the conveyors and fixedly secured to the latter. The cylindrical bearings hold two opposite sides of a rectangular frame 14, forming a connecting link between the bearings for supporting a wire net 15.

The middle portion of the conveyers is provided with a plurality of hooks 16, preferably riveted to the conveyer and adapted to be attached to the wire holders 17 and 18. Each holder, made of resilient material, is formed into a ring 19 for engaging one of the hooks or holders 17 and 18, and a second ring 20, adapted to resiliently engage faucets 21 and 22.

A convenient method of applying the device to a pair of faucets consists, in placing the holders 17 and 18Y around the faucets,

'so that the ringsv 19 are located on the outside of the pair of faucets, respectively. The conveyers are then suitably openedso that one of the pairs of hooks or holders 16, engages the openings 19 of the holders 17 and 18, whereby the conveyers are suitably spread apart by the holders. In now opening the faucets, liquid may run into the conveyers, and the supply from each faucet may be so regulated that any suitable temperature of the mixed liquid may be obtained.

V'Vhile the device is primarily intended for use in mixing hot and cold water, it is Just as convenient to mix any other liquids, such as oil, syrups, etc., or comminuted solids of any nature whereby the powders may be mixed in any desired proportion.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a `pair of supply means, of a pair of channel shaped conveyers, one for each supply means, disposed in converging planes, loops adapted to encircle and resiliently engage with said supply means, spring coils forrned with said loops' and means formed with said conreyers for engaging said coils.

2. The combination with a pair of supply means, of a pair of channel shaped conveyers, one for each supply means, disposed in coni/erging planes, a hinge element secured to the inner side of each of said conveyers at the lower end thereof, and a rectangular link -connecting said hinged elements, whereby said conveyers are maintained in spaced relation forming a discharge opening therebetween.

3. The combination with a pair of supply means, of a pair of channel shaped conveyers, one for each supply means, disposed in downwardly inclined planes, bearings at their lower end, a connecting link engaging said bearings whereby a discharge nozzle is formed by said lower ends, and means supported by said connecting link for sieving or straining mixed material supplied to said conveyers.

4. The combination with a pair of supply means, of a pair of channel shaped con veyers, one for each of said supply means, said conveyers being disposed in downwardly converging planes, and adapted to fold one within the other, loops adapted to encircle and resiliently engage with saidVv Y Signed at New York, in the county of supply means, spring coils formed with New York Yand State of New York this 10 said loops, said loops having an operating'vr 12th dny o'fAugust A1 D; 1915. means formed therewith, means formed with said conveyers for adjustbly attach- Y vCHARLES GLUCKMAN'V ing said coils thereto,v Vhinged elements YVitnesses: within said conveyers and a link spacedly R.
